Thanksgiving was amazing. We spent time this year with Lewis's family. I was sad I forgot my camera. Oh well, I was able to concentrate on the family. Corine really put a lot of hard work into the food. WOW, it was yummy! It was fun to spend time with them and hang out. The little kids helped me put up Grandma's tree and decorate it. Corine cooked for 3 days and really did an excellent job on everything. We had leftovers for a week. I don't think anyone can out cook her. THANK YOU GRANDMA LOFTON :) WE LOVE YOU!
Toya also did a great job cooking. Not a good time to try and diet.
I don't know why I even thought I could stick to my diet on Thanksgiving with them cooking :/ The extra 10lbs was well worth it ;)
Top ten things we are grateful for this year. This was hard to list 10 things when there is so much that we are thankful for.
1. God, Jesus Christ & the Holy Ghost
2. Family!!!!!!
3. Health (life)
4. Friends
5. Temples
6. Peaceful Home
7. Food :)
8. Scriptures
9. President Monson
10. Transportation
I asked Libby what she was Thankful for and she said, "My BIG Heart". Very cute.
Lewis said, "The Gospel"
Justice just looked at me and laughed.
Lewis and I are starting something new to increase our faith and love for our Savior. Every month we pick a new verse or chapter to focus on and memorize it. Either from the Bible or the Book of Mormon. This month Lewis and I are memorizing Psalms 91. What a wonderful chapter!
Be
gentle
Be kind
Apologize
Write a letter
Keep a promise
Try to understand
Give a soft answer
Laugh a little more
Express your gratitude
Think first of someone else
Seek out a forgotten friend
Gladden the heart of a child
Examine your demands on others
Speak your love, then speak it again
Manifest your loyalty in word and deed
Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth
Mind a quarrel
Forgo a grudge
Encourage a child
Forgive an enemy
Welcome a stranger
